Age–Sex Class Variation in the Activity Budget and Diet of Rhinopithecus bieti in Association with Monthly Temperature
The energy and nutrient costs associated with body mass, age, and sex can influence variation in primate behavior and diet. However, comparatively little is known about how these factors affect the behavioral and dietary flexibility of Asian colobines in response to intra-annual climate shifts. We collected data on an isolated population of black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) at Mt. Lasha in the Yunling Provincial Nature Re…

News and Perspectives
Postings on social media on Twitter (now X), BioAnthropology News (Facebook), and other venues, as well as recent publications in prominent journals, show that primatologists, ecologists, and other researchers are questioning the terms “Old World” and “New World” due to their colonial implications and history. The terms are offensive if they result in erasing Indigenous voices and history, ignoring the fact that Indigenous peoples were in the Ame…
Variation in monthly and seasonal elevation use impacts behavioral and dietary flexibility in Rhinopithecus bieti
Black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus bieti ) rely on behavioral and dietary flexibility to survive in temperate latitudes at high‐elevation habitats characterized by climate and resource seasonality. However, little is known about how elevation influences their behavioral and dietary flexibility at monthly or seasonal scales. We studied an isolated R. bieti population at Mt. Lasha in the Yunling Provincial Nature Reserve, Yunnan, Ch…

The influence of seasonality, anthropogenic disturbances, and cyclonic activity on the behavior of northern sportive lemurs ( Lepilemur septentrionalis ) at Montagne des Français, Madagascar
Anthropogenic tropical deforestation and degradation imminently threaten primates today. Primates living in these disturbed habitats may also be subjected to increasingly severe tropical storms such as cyclones or hurricanes. These disturbances pose an immediate risk to their livelihood and can dramatically alter their habitats, in turn potentially shifting behavioral patterns. We had the unique opportunity to study the effects of seasonality, an…

Status of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in the time of yellow fever
From the field to the lab
The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is a critically endangered species endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. Long-term observational studies of wild muriquis have provided many insights into the behavioral ecology and life history of this species. However, nearly everything that is currently known about the northern muriqui's behavioral endocrinology has come from combining our respective expertise in noninvasive field…
Phylogeographic evidence for two species of muriqui (genus Brachyteles )
The taxonomy of muriquis, the largest extant primates in the New World, is controversial. While some specialists argue for a monotypic genus ( Brachyteles arachnoides ), others favor a two‐species classification, splitting northern muriquis ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ) from southern muriquis ( B. arachnoides ). This uncertainty affects how we study the differences between these highly endangered and charismatic primates, as well as the design of m…

Behavioral Ecology, Primate
Primate behavioral ecology is a subfield of primatology that employs evolutionary and ecological approaches to investigate the behavior of living primates. The approach is predicated on the assumption that behavioral traits, similar to morphological and physiological traits, are shaped by evolutionary selection pressures because of the differential fitness benefits they confer on individuals. Many features of primate social organization can be ex…
Primate social behavior
Much has changed in our understanding of primate social behavior since the pioneering naturalistic field study conducted by Clarence Ray Carpenter (1934) on the behavior and social relations of mantled howler monkeys in Panama. These changes reflect a combination of interacting factors, including: (i) shifts in disciplinary perspectives; (ii) advances in theory, methods, and analytical (including computational) power; and (iii) a dramatic increas…

Fission-Fusion Dynamics
Renewed interest in fission-fusion dynamics is due to the recognition that such dynamics may create unique challenges for social interaction and distinctive selective pressures acting on underlying communicative and cognitive abilities. New frameworks for integrating current knowledge on fission-fusion dynamics emerge from a fundamental rethinking of the term "fission-fusion" away from its current general use as a label for a particular modal typ…
Myth of the typical primate
Anthropological interest in nonhuman primates as models for human behavioral evolution has tended to focus on a relatively small number of species. This emphasis, coupled with a search for unifying principles that explain behavior, has led to a widespread perception of the semi-terrestrial cercopithecines as “typical,” and therefore characteristic of most other primates. The prevalence of male-biased dispersal and female philopatry, the use of ag…
Adaptive radiation of the ateline primates
Atelinae adaptations
Comparisons between the four genera that make up the Atelinae reveal two distinct behavioral patterns, one in which energy expenditure is minimized ( Alouatta ) and one in which energy intake is maximized ( Lagothrix , Ateles , and Brachyteles ). Among the atelins, Lagothrix and Ateles devote over 75% of their annual feeding time to fruit, while Brachyteles devotes between 50% and 67% of their feeding time to leaves. Pronounced seasonality in the…

Primate Behavioral Ecology
Nonhuman primates occupy a special niche in anthropology because of the comparative insights into humans they provide. Initial anthropological interest in primates targeted the apes for their close phylogenetic relationships with humans, and the semiterrestrial Old World monkeys for their ecological similarities with hominids adapting to life on the ground. From the earliest anecdotal reports of tool use and hunting to more contemporary quantitat…

Spread of a Terrestrial Tradition in an Arboreal Primate
We present data on the spread of terrestrial activities in one group of wild northern muriqui monkeys(Brachyteles hypoxanthus).Both males and females consumed fruit, drank, rested, traveled, and socialized terrestrially, but proportionately more males spent significantly more of their time on the ground than females, and females were more likely to engage in terrestrial activities when accompanied by males than when by themselves. Terrestrial act…

What does variation in primate behavior mean
Interest in intraspecific behavioral variation has grown with concerns about the ability of primates to adapt to the rapidly changing ecological and demographic conditions that threaten their survival. Now, in addition to identifying the causes and phylogenetic distribution of normative, species‐specific behavior patterns for interspecific comparisons, there is widespread recognition of the need to incorporate intraspecific variation. This variat…
Seeing the Forest through the Seeds
Understanding the evolution of primate behavioral diversity requires multilevel approaches that encompass individuals, populations, and the effects of individuals and populations on each other. At one level are analyses of individual behavior patterns under different ecological and demographic conditions. At another level are the effects of individual behavior on the demography and genetics of local populations, which in turn shape the behavior a…
Population demography of Northern muriquis ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ) at the Estação Biológica de Caratinga/Reserva particular do Patrimônio Natural‐Felìciano Miguel Abdala, Minas Gerais, Brazil
The 957‐ha forest at the Estação Biológica de Caratinga/Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural‐Felìciano Miguel Abdala, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, supports one of the largest known populations of the critically endangered northern muriqui ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ). We combine long‐term data on one group that has been monitored since 1982 with new data obtained on the other three groups since 2002 and 2003 to describe the demographic structure o…
Primatology comes of age
The growth of primate field studies has occurred along multiple dimensions representing expansion in the number of species studied, comparative studies of different populations of the same species, and populations and groups studied over time. The accumulation of data on a broader taxonomic diversity of primates has contributed to advances in the use of comparative methods for gaining insights into interspecific variation in behavior patterns, bu…

Activity budgets of woolly spider monkeys, or muriquis ( Brachyteles arachnoides )
One group of woolly spider monkeys, or muriquis ( Brachyteles arachnoides ), was observed from June 1983 through July 1984 at Fazenda Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study subjects spent an average of 49% of their daylight time resting, 29% traveling, and 19% feeding. They shifted their diurnal schedule of activities in response to seasonal changes in temperature and rainfall. The activity budgets of adult males and females were similar.…

Diet in one group of woolly spider monkeys, or muriquis ( Brachyteles arachnoides )
Data on feeding behavior in one group of muriquis ( Brachyteles arachnoides ) were collected during a 14 month study at Fazenda Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Muriquis devoted an average of 51% of their annual feeding time to leaves, 32% to fruits, and 11% to flowers. The high proportion of leaves in their diet is consistent with predictions from the energetics of body size. However, they devoted a greater proportion of their feeding time t…

Insights into ovarian function in wild muriqui monkeys ( Brachyteles arachnoides )
Fecal samples were collected systematically during a 6‐week period, from 13 September‐24 October, 1990, from four nonlactating female muriquis ( Brachyteles arachnoides ) inhabiting an 800 ha forest at Fazenda Montes Claros in Minas Gerais, Brazil. All four females were experienced mothers; one had most recently given birth in June 1988; the other three had most recently given birth in August 1988. Fecal assays measuring progesterone, estradiol, …

Steroid excretion during the ovarian cycle in captive and wild muriquis, Brachyteles arachnoides
Urine, feces, and copulation frequency were collected from two captive muriqui females, Brachyteles arachnoides, at the Centro de Primatologia do Rio de Janeiro following the resumption of postpartum ovarian cycles. Fecal steroid profiles from seven wild muriqui females at the Estação Biologica de Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were compared to the captive females to determine the approximate patterns of steroid excretion relative to the urinar…
Behavioral and endocrine characteristics of the reproductive cycle in wild muriqui monkeys,Brachyteles arachnoides
The analysis of fecal ovarian steroids provides a powerful noninvasive method to obtain insights into ovulatory cycles, gestation length, and the timing of sexual interactions relative to the periovulatory period in wild primates. Techniques developed to collect and assay feces from free-ranging muriqui monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides) for estradiol and progesterone yield the first explicit reproductive data on this species, and provide the firs…
